Chapter 372: The Northern Frontier Kingdom is coming

At this time, the bows and arrows were almost all remodeled, and everyone wore bows and quivers, as well as a few smaller versions of feathered arrows, which allowed them to drive away enemies even when they were on horses.

But Li Luobing encountered a bottleneck in the most critical * production problem, and the things were there, but she always felt that the power would be insufficient.

And these made*, she has no way to conduct experiments nearby, once the experiment is done, even if it will not attract the attention of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, it will disturb the people of Chaoyang City, Li Luobing is not too sure at all.

"How's the preparation going?" Chu Ruoyao walked up to her side and asked.

Li Luobing also told Chu Ruoyan about the method of making it before, and he tried to make a few, which looked okay from the outside.

Li Luobing nodded, and shook his head again: "It's done, but I don't know when it will come in handy to test the real power." ”

"Then just wait for the Northern Frontier Kingdom to attack again, let them suffer some hardships, and use one or two to test the power, so that they don't find out what this thing is."

Li Luobing nodded, and he had to do this.

Not long after they finished talking about this matter, the people from the Northern Frontier Kingdom came, and everyone didn't expect the people from the Northern Frontier to come so quickly and menacingly.

"Marshal, lord, the princess is not good, a large group of people in the north of Xinjiang suddenly came towards Chaoyang City."

It was Yang Zhen and Yang Ning who came in a hurry to report the news this time, and Chu Ruoyan had asked them to go to a distance to reconnoitre, in order to prevent a sudden attack in the northern frontier.

After so long, there was no movement in Northern Xinjiang, and everyone was a little relaxed, but Yang Ning suddenly discovered that the people and horses in Northern Xinjiang had moved, so he hurriedly ran back to Chaoyang City.

"Attacking now?" After hearing this, Marshal Shen slapped the table and immediately prepared to go out to order troops.

"Marshal, don't be busy yet," Chu Ruoyu stopped Marshal Shen, who was in a hurry, "Do you know how many people they came this time?" ”

"I don't know." Yang Ning and Yang Zhen shook their heads, "We felt that something was wrong, so we hurriedly ran over, not paying attention to the number of people. ”

"There will definitely be no shortage of people in the Northern Frontier this time," Chu Ruoyan muttered, "After all, they still have captives with us, if they come this time to rescue the people and horses, then the pressure on Chaoyang City will be very huge." ”

"I'm going to tell the soldiers the news right now, so that they can get ready as soon as possible. If it's not against us, if it's against us, I'm afraid it's going to be a tough battle. ”

After listening to everyone's words, Marshal Shen hurriedly ran out and told all the soldiers the news, and when they heard that there might be an enemy attack, everyone became nervous and prepared all their armor, shields, bows and arrows.

"This time, if the northern Xinjiang is really coming for us, it is likely that there will be a lot of casualties, so everyone must be mentally prepared."

After Marshal Shen's words were finished, I thought that everyone's morale would be low, but I didn't expect that on the contrary, everyone was more determined than before.

"Marshal, rest assured, we will definitely keep the people of Northern Xinjiang firmly outside the gate of Chaoyang City, and will never let them step into the city gate, nor will we let them step into the land of Mingyue Country."

The soldiers said in unison, the scene was very shocking, and Marshal Shen was also a little moved when he looked at the people.

"What to do next, I will tell the captain of each team, and you will come with me to the tent." Marshal Shen pointed to the captains of these teams and said, gathering them all into his tent.

After entering the tent, these people found that King Yan and Princess Yan were also inside, and hurriedly saluted the two of them.

"Don't be polite, you can just listen to what Marshal Shen wants to say, don't care about us." Chu Ruoyan didn't want everyone to focus on them.

After a few people nodded, they came to Marshal Shen's side together and looked at the map in the center of the table.

"The most likely offensive routes in northern Xinjiang are these places, you remember, when the time comes, we must defend these roads, and don't let us fall into a passive situation."

Marshal Shen pointed to the map and told them about the precautions for this operation, and several captains kept nodding their heads after hearing this.

From Marshal Shen's tone, they could all know the severity of the situation this time, and after giving urgent orders to the matter, several people left with Marshal Shen's order.

"King Yan, you and the princess are in this big tent, don't move around at will."

Marshal Shen's original intention was to make Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing safer, but according to Chu Ruoyao's character, it was absolutely impossible to sit in the big tent like this, waiting for others to send him news.

"We're not going to stay here, we'll go to the front with you later."

"Let's go to the front together?" Marshal Shen looked at the two of them, "Is Princess Yan going too?" "This is not a joke, if Li Luobing also wants to go to the front line with them, then he still has to protect Li Luobing's safety, once the two of them have any mistakes, he can't afford it.

Although sending King Yan to such a barren place has already shown that in the eyes of the emperor, he doesn't pay much attention to Chu Ruoyan at all, but he is a prince after all.

Chu Ruoyan turned his head to look at Li Luobing's expression, and before he could speak, Li Luobing spoke first: "Of course I have to go, casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, if you wait until someone is injured and then send it over, won't it delay too much time?" When the time comes, the delay is a huge loss. ”

"But ......"

"There's nothing to do." Li Luobing interrupted Marshal Shen's words.

Seeing that Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing had been so determined, Marshal Shen had no choice but to agree to their request and order someone to find a set of armor for each of them.

Before, those soldiers had already marched out of the city according to the plan they had made, and Li Luobing and the others followed behind these teams in carriages, while Chu Ruoyao's secret guards surrounded these carriages and protected them very closely.

"You must follow my side for a while, don't stay too far away from me, otherwise I won't be able to save you, this is different from when I was in the capital, the people of Northern Xinjiang kill people in Mingyue Country without blinking."

Chu Ruoyan was very worried about Li Luobing's safety, and told her over and over again on the road.

Although the two of them had also been attacked by King Qin and others when they were in the capital before, they only attacked them when they guaranteed their lives.

As for the people of the northern frontier, the people are fierce, and it is likely that they will launch a deadly attack on them, so it will be very difficult for them to repel these attacks.

The procession advanced for a while and then stopped halfway, beside a grove of trees, in which everyone hid themselves, even the carriage was very tightly hidden.

Chu Ruoyao, Li Luobing and the others followed a group of soldiers and quietly walked forward for a while, climbing a high hillside, and then everyone lay down in the grass, observing the movement.

On the other side of the hill there was another group of soldiers from Chaoyang City, they were staring closely at the road down the mountain, waiting for the men and horses of the northern frontier to pass here, and once they passed by here, they would immediately launch an attack, trying to stop all the men and horses of the northern frontier here, and the same was true of the other groups of soldiers.

There were only a few ways to attack Chaoyang City, and they were not sure whether the people from the northern frontier would gather together to attack or split into several ways to attack, so they sent people to guard each intersection, so that it was convenient for others to support.

"Princess, you step back a bit, it's too dangerous to be in front." Yang Zhen looked at Li Luobing and persuaded him.

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Ruoyan made a silent gesture, and then pressed his ear to the ground.

Seeing this, Marshal Shen also followed Chu Ruoyao's example, put his ear on the ground, and sure enough, he felt a vibration not far away.

"Looks like it's coming towards us." Marshal Shen straightened up and said. Chu Ruoyu nodded, also in the same opinion.

While a few people were talking, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and then Marshal Shen realized that the men and horses from the northern frontier this time had far exceeded their expectations, and they did not attack Chaoyang City in several ways as they thought before, but rushed here in one go.

"Yang Zhen, you go and gather all the soldiers on the other roads here, we can only stop it for half an hour at most, and after half an hour, if reinforcements don't arrive, we can only give up here and retreat to Chaoyang City."

Chu Ruoyao's tone was hurried, this was decided after discussing with Marshal Shen just now, he was really worried now, it was absolutely impossible for them to fight against these people in the northern Xinjiang, and there was no other way than to wait for reinforcements.

After Yang Zhen heard this, he quickly left, and Marshal Shen and Chu Ruoyan were lying in the grass again. And Li Luobing was also lying motionless on Chu Jun's side, not daring to make too much movement at all, for fear that his mistake would affect the entire plan.

"Here we are."

Marshal Shen suddenly whispered, and after hearing this, Li Luobing looked over, and sure enough, he saw a bunch of figures not far away.

Marshal Shen made a gesture with the surrounding soldiers, asking them to quietly take out the bows and arrows that had been modified before, and aim them at the road down the hillside.

"Shoot the arrows!" The moment the people from Northern Xinjiang appeared here, Marshal Shen gave the order to release the arrows.

In an instant, a rain of arrows poured down from the hillside, taking the vanguard of northern Xinjiang by surprise.

"Stop, don't go any further!" After seeing that his vanguard was attacked, the leaders of the northern frontier hurriedly reined in their horses and ordered the people behind to stand by in place to reduce unnecessary casualties.
